Fear The Walking Dead season 3 finale: Who died?
Co-creator of Fear The Walking Dead, Dave Erickson, explained to Deadline the Fear The Walking Dead season 3 finale and who he thinks died, and who didn’t.
By the end of the Fear The Walking Dead season 3 finale, fans may have been confused on which characters died and which ones did not. Dave Erickson — co-creator of Fear — who is now leaving the show, talked to Deadline and shared his thoughts on those possible deaths.
By the end of the finale, Madison appeared to survive the dam’s explosion and subsequent flooding, but others like Strand, Daniel, Nick and Alicia, may not have been so lucky. Erickson says if he were coming back for season 4, the question of who did or did not die wouldn’t be so up in the air, so to speak.

"Well, if I were doing Season 4, I could say safely that they’re not dead, but I’m not. So, the suggestion that Alicia’s dead, and that we actually see her grave in the flash forward fantasy sequence, yeah, that’s really all from Madison’s POV, and sort of her worst-case scenario. So, everything we see, and all the suggestions that we have in that, it’s Madison drowning, it’s Madison in her death throes. I’d say just because we don’t see Alicia or Strand, don’t assume that they didn’t get to shore in the same way that Madison did."
Still, Erickson dodges Nick and Daniel’s fates, but Deadline doesn’t let him get off that easy. “I think they’re a little bit safer because we wanted Daniel to arrive in that moment, and the suggestion being that Daniel can now drag Nick away if need be.”
On the topic of a potential The Walking Dead and Fear The Walking Dead crossover, and the fact that the city of Houston, Texas has been mentioned — a city where Abraham Ford began his journey on TWD — Erickson thinks its simply pure speculation, but again, he isn’t going to be part of the show, moving forward.
